- DRINKS! A session filled with sweeps and reverse sweeps. Bangladesh have done exceedingly well to extend its lead with minimal fuss. A couple of chances went away but those were too harsh to call as a drop against the Lankans. Sri Lanka are chasing the game at the moment and just have to hope something special happens for them from here on. Also, there are a few dark clouds hovering around but we hope that the rain stays away.
